 Easter Sunday:  I slept fairly well last night.  While getting ready for church, I put on GAITHER SING-A-LONG 2025 !!!!   And indeed, I did sing along.  When I got to church a full half hour before the ten forty five service was going to start, the parking lot was ALMOST FULL.  There was one empty spot in the front, and in the back was almost full.  I parked in the very last pull out spot in the row.  Church was great!  I sat with Jan, Linda Stein and Marlene whose daughter and a male friend had joined her.  When church was over,  I gave Peggy a ride home and she changed clothes and she and I and David went to ANTONIO's for Easter dinner.  This was our third year doing this.  I treated them because David's eightieth birthday is coming up in eight or nine days.  I ate some cheesecake for desert and took a couple of LACTO pills to help with that.  When we were driving home, we were on Hoover Road when I reali...

 Sunday the 13th:    Church was very good today.  Glenda is back!!!   She recently had surgery and has been at home recovering.  She looked pretty good.  I got to talk to Marlene before the service started.  She is suffering from very painful SCIATICA.  She is getting treatments twice a week at a pain center, and her doctor has recommended physical therapy.   After church I went right home and changed out of church clothing into jeans.  Peggy came and picked me up and we went to GUST OF SUN WINERY because they were hosting a food truck COUSINS MAINE LOBSTER.      We each purchased a roll.  All of the tables and chairs set up outside were taken, so we decided to take them to my place and have lunch there.  I added a couple of items.  The rolls were good, but small (for the price of $22 each.  We talked for a while.  She told me about a former church goer who showed up at church ...

 April 10th: I got a decent amount of sleep last night.  I went down to the Turk's and picked up my mail.  I worked on uploading pictures to flickr and this blog.  I used the leftover roast beef with vegetables to make soup in the crockpot. I spent over a half an hour on the phone with reps from Panera attempting to rejoin MY SIP CLUB.  I was given two passwords, most recent one was alivegolf17 and then when I was given an opportunity to change it I chose Panerahell17.  After my nap I opened a brief survey from Panera regarding my contact with the first rep. I spoke to today, and then I got another email which allowed me to rejoin the SIP CLUB.  I won't find out until I go in to Panera and order a drink if they are honoring the special deal I originally signed up for:  five dollars a month for five months of UNLIMITED drinks.   I went through all of the brochures and other items I picked up for things to see and do in Pennsylvania and th...

 WEDNESDAY.  Maggie and I left my house right around eleven a.m.  We took back roads and drove straight through to Salamanca (where it was raining) without stopping.  We had lunch at McDonalds and went to SANDERS so Maggie could get a few items she wanted:  yogurt, granola, berries.  We arrived at the Quaker Registration Oiffce a few minutes before three p.m. and got the key and went to our cottage, Fancher F.  By this time, the heavy rain had turned into a light rain.  Maggie backed her car up close to the steps to the porch. We got our stuff out of Maggie's car and got ourselves organized, including making  our beds. I had a moment of panic when I thought maybe I had not brought the little Vera Bradley bag  with my medications, but I found it. At four thirty, Leslie had not arrived and I was worn out, I laid down for a while.  When I got up, it was after six p.m. and Leslie had not arrived.  I started to get concerned and ask...

 SUNDAY:  After church, Marsha, her daughter Colleen, Lori and I decided to go out for lunch.  We had a hard time deciding which place to go, but finally decided on DENNYS.  I arrived first and the parking lot was NOT full, but as I waited for the others, people kept coming and I could see lots of tables waiting to be cleaned up and workers rushing around, so I decided that they were probably understaffed.  I went back out to the parking lot to wait for the others.  Marsha and Colleen drove in and I suggested we go to Arby's next door.  They drove over, and I waited for Lori.  She did not want to go to Arbys since she was there a day or so ago, so she and I decided to go to APPLEBEES, and I went over to Arbys to tell Marsha and Colleen, who had already ordered and were waiting for their food.  I apologized for all the changes.  Lori and I met up aet Applebees, and we both had the meal deal special, a drink fries and either a burger or ch...

 SUNDAY:  I got to church kind of early, and Maggie joined me.  We talked about our trip to ALLEGANY, and she is so excited.  I am so glad that she decided to join me and that she is so happy  to be going.  Jan and Kat joined us.  They talked all through the worship, how irritating.  Marlene also joined us.  Cindi came over to tell me what little she knows about how Glenda is recovering at home after her surgery.  She spent one night in the hospital, and her daughter is staying with her now.  I asked Marlene if she wanted to go out for lunch after church and she said she was not sure.  When church ended, she asked if it would be just her and I going having lunch together.  I don't know if this means she wanted it to be just her and I or if there is someone she wants to avoid being with or something else.  But by that time I had remembered that I had enough leftover corned beef, potatoes, carrots and cabbage for two an...
